The wicked live by faith

It is written, "The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:7, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38)".
The wicked also live by faith. We need faith for everything because we are not all powerful (omnipotent), all knowing (omniscience) and all-present (omnipresent). We have no time to prove everything which we have not seen or have not felt with any of our senses. We also cannot be proving all the time whether our senses are deceiving us. Thus everybody lives by faith. The just and the wicked. But the wicked live by faith in everything other than the true and living God. Therefore God do not consider the wicked as "alive" (Matthew 8:22, Luke 9:60). They are alive only in our eyes, which why the Bible never says "The wicked shall live by faith".
